LKN (Lutheran Church in Norway and Iceland) is a confessional Lutheran church body with congregations in Norway and Iceland. As a confessional Lutheran Church we believe that the Bible is the inerrant Word of God, and that the Book of Concord is a true interpretation of the Bible.
We are a member of International Lutheran Council, and we have altar and pulpit fellowship with the following churches:
- Lutheran Church – Missouri Synod
- American Association of Lutheran Churches
- Lutheran Church Canada
- Evangelical Lutheran Church of Ingria
- Evangelical Lutheran Church of Latvia
- Evangelical Lutheran Church in Lithuania.
If you wish to visit one of our Churches, please refer to service times in our calendar and list of congregations.
Everyone is welcome to our services. If you wish to commune, please contact the pastor in advance.
We can provide translation of our liturgy in English and Latvian, and we are working on a Russian translation as well. We will also do our best to provide an interpreter upon request. Please send an e-mail to torkild.masvie@lkn.no some days before you come to visit us, and we will try to find an interpreter for you.
